Case Study: The Arlington Center modernizes operations and expands online reach with TeamUp

Why Chip Hartranft chose TeamUp for his yoga studio business

The Arlington Center is a community yoga studio in Arlington, Massachusetts founded by Chip Hartranft in 2002. After nearly 20 years of running the studio on cash-only transactions, paper sign‑in sheets and complex spreadsheets, the COVID‑19 shutdown exposed how unsustainable that system had become and prompted Chip to look for studio management software to modernize operations and enable online classes.

Chip chose TeamUp for its intuitive dashboard and feature set — calendar/CRM, easy reporting, multi-class passes, payment processing and Zoom integration — and quickly migrated away from spreadsheets. The platform streamlined billing and reporting, made teacher payouts fairer, enabled hybrid in-person/online classes that grew the studio’s reach, and freed staff time, giving Chip clearer visibility into the business and confidence to reopen and scale.
